Sandy experts to next mayor: Follow Bloomberg

Sandy experts to next mayor: Follow Bloomberg

Crain's New York Business — In building a more resilient New York City, the next mayor should resist the reflexive political urge to reject the work of his predecessor and instead commit to the projects and policies the Bloomberg administration has gotten underway in the year since Superstorm Sandy.

Pressure on unions, builder and mayor led to Staten Island megadeal

Crain's New York Business — The deal that will bring Staten Island its biggest development since the Verrazano Bridge came together quite unlike any other in the recent history of the city. A cast of players with differing agendas, but under the same pressure to grasp a historic opportunity, reached an eleventh-hour agreement that was at once unique and precedent-setting.

Deal reached on S.I. megadevelopment

Crain's New York Business — Some late wheeling and dealing Tuesday resulted in a surprising agreement that assures final approval for Staten Island's largest development project since the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge: a huge Ferris wheel and massive outlet mall near the borough's ferry terminal in St. George. While full details have not been disclosed, Crain's has learned that the broad strokes of the deal signal a clear win for both organized labor and Councilwoman Debi Rose.

All Along, The Watchtower: Can I Get a Jehovah's Witness? In Brooklyn Heights, Probably Not | Obs...

New York Observer — What if 3,000 people left a neighborhood of 22,000 all at once and nobody noticed? Ask any longtime resident of Brooklyn Heights how often they laid eyes on a Jehovah's Witness, they would most certainly answer, "Every day." However if you were to ask that very same person if, by dint of the cliché, how often Jehovah's Witnesses had appeared at their door to offer them a copy of the Watchtower newsletter and recruit them into the religion, that person would likely smile benignly and say "Oh, never. Of course not."

Video: Partner in Alphabet City Wine Co. Gets Into the Beer Business

New York Times, Local East Village — After four years of whetting the whistles of wine drinkers in the far East Village, David Hitchner, co-owner of In Vino Winebar & Restaurant and Alphabet City Wine Co., is striking out on his own. This time, he'll be tapping kegs instead of popping corks, as he plans to open Alphabet City Beer Co. at 96 Avenue C next February. Mr. Hitchner recently took The Local on an early tour of the space.

David Einhorn Experiences an Inevitable Mets Meltdown First Hand | Observer

New York Observer — Any Mets fan can tell you that things just have a way of ending ugly around the franchise. Whether they be a family day at the ballpark (see: former closer Francisco Rodriguez attacking his girlfriend's father in the family lounge after a game), to epic collapses on the field (see: 2007, 2008), to careers that looked bright (see: too many to mention in parenthetics), it just seems like the team and the organization behind it can snap defeat from the jaws of victory at any time.

The Death of Mathieu Lefevre and the Contradiction of Bloomberg Bike Policy | Observer

The Death of Mathieu Lefevre and the Contradiction of Bloomberg Bike Policy | Observer

New York Observer — When Erica Lefevre took the microphone outside One Police Plaza at a press conference shortly after noon today, the clearly stricken woman spoke first about what a talented artist her son had been, and how he had left his native Canada to make an impact on the art world of New York City. "His work is in museums in Toronto and his native home of Montreal," she said, her voice trembling with a mix of pride and sadness, knowing he would never paint again. While riding his bicycle home from his studio last Wednesday night, 30-year-old Mathieu Lefevre was struck by a truck and killed on the corner of Meserole Street and Morgan Avenue in Bushwick.
